Court documents state that Walsh is charged with theft in excess of $5,000. The alleged offence occurred between Aug. 1, 2012 and June 6, 2013.

In a previous interview, Hantsport CAO Rob Frost noted he could not comment on the case as it was before the courts but confirmed that Walsh was dismissed from an administrative assistant role with the town on June 6, 2013.

Walsh was present in Windsor court on March 25, 2014 when Judge Alan Tufts first read the charge. The matter was adjourned to April 8 for election and plea. On April 8, Walsh was not present, however, Manning was designated as her legal representative.
